The only way that you’re ever going to get anything done in Motel Manager Simulator is if you have money - and a lot of it. No money, and the entire thing will go crashing and burning to the ground as your employees stop working and you run out of literally everything.

Occasionally, you may need to shut down one of your ventures to try and save what little money you have, but it’s better just to be on top of everything before it starts to spiral. you may make money through your gas station, the shop, and, obviously, the motel.

8Keep Your Room Profits High

Even If It Needs To Be Cluttered

Although it might take scrapping pennies and putting everything you have into one or two rooms, those rooms should turn over a tidy profit. Load them up with nonessential items and high-bonus items and you’ll be reaping the rewards in no time.

Build your rooms up one at a time, instead of all at once, and you’ll be guaranteed to have a steady flow of income, even if you’re not using the shop and the gas station. However, it can take a lot longer to see the rewards of your rooms, even if you’re not bumping up the price through the price manager. Focusing on keeping your motel room profit strong is also a great strategy if you’rea beginner at management simulators.

7Be Picky With Customers

Don’t Lose Out On A Better Sale

If you can help it, then you should be picky about what customers you choose to take on. Customers who stay for longer periods of time and couples will always net you a higher profit than singles and people who stay for less than a day.

Plus, you don’t need to supply longer-term customers with more than one set of single-use products, which means you get more bang for your buck. It might take a minute to get your prized customers, but when you do, you are sure to reap a tidy profit. Remember that singles can use double bedrooms, too, if that’s all that you have available.

6Upgrade Your Gas Reserve ASAP

You Can Build Up More Funds

Although you technically will be paying a higher amount of money to refill your tank completely, it’s worth taking the time to upgrade your gas reserve. You’ll be refilling it less often, which means you have time to build up decent savings and do other things.

You don’t always have to top off your reserve either, but it’s good to keep on top of it so you’re not dropping almost a thousand dollars or more every time you need to refill your gas tank. Gas makes a lot of money very quickly, especially if you open up a second station, so the gas reserve should be one of your priorities for an upgrade.

5Buy Additional Parking For The Store

More Parking Means More Customers

Although the story can make you a tidy amount of profit if you keep on top of your stock, you should really ensure that you have as many customers as possible. Expand your parking and, if needed, buy a second cash register.

The more parking you have for your store, the more likely you are to have a constant stream of customers who are going to buy just about everything. So long as your prices are reasonable, then you shouldn’t have a hard time peddling goods to whoever stops at your motel.

4Only Buy Cheap Goods

Look For Whatever’s On Sale

You need to spend money to make some money, and this holds true while you’re shopping for things to go in your store. Whether you’re going to mix up your products to be the ultimate convenience store or opt for one type of product, you should keep an eye on what’s on sale.

Some items will drop to as low as 80 cents per item, which makes them easy to buy in bulk. If you see something cheap, buy as much of it as you can bother with because there’s no guarantee that it’s going to be anywhere close to that price come the next day. Keeping a good stock in your warehouse is important when the prices are just a smidge too high.

3Keep Employment To The Minimum

Employees Are Expensive, You Are Free

Not only should you not go around hiring every single employee that you can get your hands on, but you should make sure to switch them to resting when you find a lull in your working time. Take over their duties while you have nothing to do and you can completely cut out paying their salary for a little bit. You may be primarily managing a hotel, but with this tip, you’ll bedipping your toes into a handful of different jobs.

Once things pick back up, rush over to your computer in the central office of the motel and set them back to work. Employees can get expensive really quickly, and you may end up paying them far more than you expected with incredibly poor timing, especially if you forget to turn autopay on.

2Regularly Manage Your Prices

You Decide Your Profit Margins

After you’ve purchased new items for the store or your star ratings have gone up for your shop and the motel, you should really check in on your prices and the likelihood of purchase. Decide what’s an acceptable margin for you (90 percent or higher is a guaranteed purchase, basically), and reap as much profit as you can.

Regularly checking and adjusting the prices is a surefire way to verify that your profit margin is going to be high and your cost to keep things running low.

1Sell Old Room Items

Don’t Trash The Old Stuff

Whenever you’re upgrading your motel rooms or things inside of your shop, don’t just toss the stuff you don’t want to keep in the dumpster. Instead, you should consider selling the items with the price gun in your tool menu. Although it will be cheaper than the purchase price of the item, you’re able to still make some money back.

Don’t lose out on potential recuperate money by throwing all of your old items away. Upgrades are inevitable as you attempt to up the price of your motel rooms, so you might as well make what money you can while you can. Not to mention, it’s also just way more convenient than packing things over to the nearest dumpster.
